Yes ! I've dealt with complex issues that turned out to be vendor-swapped-hardware-woopsie which we spent over a month trying to solve in software before finally figuring it out.
Part of it was difficulty of pinpointing the actual issue - fullness of drive vs throughput of writes.
A lot of it was unfortunately organizational politics such that the system spanned two teams with different reporting lines that didn't cooperate well / had poor testing practices.
